I didn't realize this ended the 28th! I only want to submit one song, "Back to Shalla-Bal" by Joe Satriani off his "Flying in a Blue Dream" release. I only hope someone hears and likes it and checks out more of his stuff. He's a legend, and it's not even his best work IMO. Marvel fans may get the Silver Surfer reference in the title. Oh yeah, the song is featured on the menu screen from Formula 1. I just recorded the sound-check.               https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAQ--geZznE

Took me a while but I managed to do it, that's all that matters in the end I suppose.

Anyways, I'll be disabling my layout and post my entries as links this time, in order to avoid lag while loading the page, I noticed that happened on the previous competition.

Submissions:

1: Mega Man X5 - Dynamo Theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMfaFTvGx2M
2: Mega Man X6 - Blaze Heatnix Stage Theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCQrjFJ6gDM
3: Final Fantasy Chronicles - Chrono Trigger / Secret of the Forest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_ZFn-NrZt8
4: Warcraft 2: The Dark Saga - Humans 04 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFBBenSnnqg
5: Legend of Mana (PSX) - Southern City Polpota (Polpota Bay Theme) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oPFI5rL83w
6: Chrono Cross - On The Beach of Dreams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mulw9x3U3A
7: Diablo - Tristram Theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5shWmp4W43c

Diablo's Tristram Theme is something so epic that I couldn't help myself and ended up making another video with the full song, even if it's ineligible for the competition, It just felt wrong uploading only 3 minutes and 30 seconds of it, I had upload the entire thing. Enjoy!

EXTRA: Diablo - Tristram Theme (FULL VERSION):

And now, as RetroGameNinja surprises the crowd by uploading another video for the competition, he_

OK, I'll quit the chatter and cut to the chase. I have no idea what this song is. It's not any of the game rooms, nor is it the credits. So, I present to you,

Rockman 2 Wily no Nazo Wily Fortress

Star Wars Masters of Terasi Kasi Opening (Star Wars opening crawl)

Rockman 3 Theme

Rockman x3 Japanese opening (The best out of all the songs in my opinion)

Yeah.I'm a big Megaman fan when it comes to music.And the classics are the best.

Spidey243 : Since you recorded some of those submissions with an external program you have to provide a screenshot as proof that the RGR plugin was used. Recording with the built-in feature prevents lag from showing up in the footage, the bad stuttering that shows on your Star Wars submission and the minor stuttering on your Rockman 2 and Rockman X3 submissions happened because the built-in recorder wasn't used.

EDIT: After seeing the previous submissions I decided to check the other user submissions and to my surprise quite a few have been recorded with external programs rather than the built-in recorder of the plugin. This could prove to be quite troublesome as there aren't that many submissions to begin with...

mvhupsel : I've tried using the built-in recorder but the MOV output files take hours to upload and all the converting programs I use to convert them to wmv (they upload the fastest) either don't detect any video or say the file is corrupted.So far I have tried Camtasia,AVS video editor,Freemake and even Windows Movie Maker.I always get the same error.

Spidey243 : That's fine and the rules allow you to use external programs as long as you take a screenshot of yourself recording the RGR plugin with it. I personally recorded with the plugin and converted my submissions with Camtasia. It took a while to convert to .mp4, but it worked perfectly.

Davideo7 : There seems to be a considerable amount of submissions that have been recorded with an external program, but lack a screenshot.

In my honest opinion I think that DQ'ing them would affect the competition negatively by a lot since there aren't that many submissions and it's literally 1 day before the voting takes place, but I'll leave it up to you to decide what to do. I made a list of what submissions have been recorded with an external program, which I can share if you want, just let me know.

Also just for clarification purpose, I have past experience with recording using external programs (I used Camtasia and Sony Vegas for most of my YouTube submissions when I was Staff) and I can assure you that any form of stuttering for submissions is caused by recording with external programs.

With the plugin, even if you lag while you play, the footage won't take it into consideration as it's a RAW file that takes footage from the emulator as your source rather than your computer screen, thus removing all lag/stuttering issues that might have affected gameplay.
While stuttering doesn't shows up all the time (it's caused by hardware lag, which is random), whenever it does you'll know it wasn't recorded with the RGR plugin.

mvhupsel :
Should I be concerned by this? I recorded with the RGR plugin, then use Free Video Converter to turn the videos into ".avi", then use Virtual Dub to resize the video and finally use Freemake to turn the video into ".wmv" in order to upload it fast enough. I can't make the screenshots, it's too late. Except for "Lost Painting", the others submissions got that treatment. If the others can't apply, so be it. I'll keep my submission of "Castlevania: Symphony of the Night" only. I highly doubt one submission can let me win but that's for the sake of this contest that I'll remove the other submissions if they are not elligible.

Laian : None of your submissions are affected by this because like you said you originally used the plugin recording function, thus causing no issues on the final result.

mvhupsel : I kinda dropped the rule since hardly anyone was doing that and this competition is already lacking participation. Yeah recording with the Plugin is almost always the preferred way to record for the reason that you mentioned. It's the same with netplay, you can record a session with the plugin and even if there's a lot of lag in the game, the video will not show that lag.

Davideo7 : I'm glad to be honest since almost half the total submissions would be gone if this rule DQ'd them.

Can I suggest something though for future competitions? Why not make it a rule that whenever an external program is used, the RGR Plugin window actually has to show up on the recording?

Like this:

That would solve the screenshots issue. Also having as a requirement that if the user decides to use an external software for recording the videos, they need to have minor lag / stuttering in order to qualify. That would incentive the users to pick the RGR recording function along with keeping the submissions quality at a good level.
